When it comes to the farmhouse décor above the fireplace, the first thing which probably arises in one’s mind is mantel décor. And most probably, the Christmas one. Of course, we are used to decorating our mantels for the holiday season with all the garlands, hanging stockings and wreaths… But what about the rest of the year? Also, in colder days we like to spend more days inside, gathered near the fireplace and surrounded by its warmth. But what about summer or spring? Can we actually still decorate the mantel to reflect the spirit of the ongoing season?
I just got very curious if others tend to decorate the place above their fireplaces, and if they do, what are the most common and also creative ways to do it.

Lots of options here, you just need to choose one for you.
